I'm boggled by that.

More wetland reflecting.
How the park got its name?
Shelter was hard to come by. I really regretted not having taken 50 litres of ice-cold water with me.

You can have your day either hazy or ripply.

Jos,
Wow people, talk about eyes wide open!
Wonderful!
And the poetry that accompanies the images amazes me, magical ways with words. :)

Jos,
A rainbow as I was going home

Nice bow.
Some crazy cats in the clouds today.
Totoro.

Rainbow? Blue sky? Those imply the sun. Nothing cosmic like sun, moon or stars here today, and the river has lost its reflective surface somehow.
Rafts of green debris floating by are aquatic weeds from beyond the tidal zone, upstream on the Flats.
Having cleaned out the drains, the river brings down heavier debris - one gull at least checking out this piece for any opportunities.
Not even any tide to signify the cosmos today - the rise in freshwater flows neatly compensating for the falling ocean level. -
Another cellphone point and hope. Sunlight rippled on the Guishui River twixt the planks of a bridge.
Shadows of tall trees.

Jos,
lovely, damply
-
Yup, it was a great-cloud day here!
Love the shot through the planks of the bridge, looks more like smoke…..
Anyhow, look out….. another bout of Photorrhoea coming on…..
Michael Joseph Savage Memorial has a pool…..

Memorial in colour

Then there are the boat sheds…..

And a couple of puddles

Nora, these are really stunning!

Yes, this is my favorite Capture thread, of all time. Magnificence on every page.

It's a wintry day. I could repeat the grey-brown river through the grey-brown branches of the walnut tree, but instead to hark back to the late afternoon sun a few days ago - this one of sparrows (and a chaffinch) perhaps imitating the now-gone leaves of the walnut tree, though if that were so they are upside down. But in the absence of reflection, that's thread-fitting too - and this through the glass door from inside out.
-
A white-faced heron, perhaps in better imitation of a larger walnut leaf. Somewhat unusually it chose one of the light outer branches of the walnut to perch on in the dawn light. I wouldn't have noticed it had I not heard it floundering around after crash-landing.
Dignity restored.
Of course I meant to land on this branch!
-
A reflection back to late May, when the willow log retained its full length and variety of perches (before hooked-up flood debris on a falling tide broke the outer end off). And when there were green walnut leaves for black-backed gulls to imitate.
Would seem a shame to put this one upside down.
Ah well, I'll give it a try ... -
Mid-June before sun-up. The yellowing leaves are thinning so better imitated with wings spread. And the willow log is shorter, increasing the pressure on perching space.
The little shag with its wits and wings about it is ready to defend its spot from a more elegant and manouevrable black-backed gull. (Which it managed successfully - gull and its mate took the No.2 and No.3 perches).
